Avast detected a variety of threats swiftly and efficiently during our tests. The scan was completed in just 6 minutes and 50 secs, which is impressive considering it was able to scan more than 2 million files.

In terms of false positives, we were slightly disappointed to learn that Avast was susceptible to flagging certain programs as infected.

It only happens in rare instances and you are able to send the file to be examined for a correction if Avast flags it as a mistake.
